Walter Liefeld on Titus 2
By: JL P | July 17, 2009
Titus 2:3-103 Likewise, teach the older women to be reverent in the way they live, not to be slanderers or addicted to much wine, but to teach what is good. 4 Then they can urge the younger women to love their husbands and children, 5 to be self-controlled and pure, to be busy at home, to be [...]
May Women Serve as Deacons?
By: Dr. Mimi Haddad, President of CBE International | July 15, 2009
“I commend to you our sister Phoebe, a deacon of the church at Cenchreae, so that you may welcome her in the Lord as is fitting for the saints, and help her in whatever she may require from you, for she has been a benefactor of many and of myself as well” (Rom. 16:1-2 NRSV). [...]
A Great Host of Women
By: Dr. Mimi Haddad, President of CBE International | July 8, 2009
As you may know, the question of whether women can serve as deacons has been recently debated among many evangelicals. Since Scripture makes clear that Phoebe served as a deacon in the church in Cenchrea, there is an abundance of historical and archeological evidence that women deacons were upheld by the apostles. Both Clement of [...]
An Inclusive Name
By: MaryAnn Nguyen-Kwok | July 1, 2009
by Mary Ann and Sam Mary Ann: Did you know there was a man in biblical times who took his wife's family name? In Nehemiah 7:63, a man is mentioned named Barzillai, who had married a woman who was a descendant of Barzillai of Gilead and had taken her family name. He changed his name to [...]
God's View of Singleness
By: Jessi Colund | June 24, 2009
I graduated from a wonderful Christian college about a year ago, and it was a great experience overall. However, one thing that really bothered me was the pressure felt by many of my friends—especially my female friends—to get married. There was a sense that a woman’s life would be most spiritually fulfilled [...]
Learning in Submission
By: Susannah Clark | June 17, 2009
I suspect there are few passages in the Bible that have caused more controversy than this. For centuries these words have been used to keep women from taking active roles in the church such as preaching, speaking, and leading. Tragically, so often, this passage has been taken in isolation, out of context, and with no [...]
Women Leaders
By: Dr. Mimi Haddad, President of CBE International | June 10, 2009
Recently I heard someone say that while they support women in leadership, ultimately all final authority should be male. They went on to say that though women may exercise their God-given gifts in new spheres of service such as teaching adults, as deacons, or even as a pastor, Scripture teaches that men should exercise ultimate [...]
Servant Development
By: Joanna K.B. Stanberry | June 5, 2009
The gender equity component of the community’s development efforts came up repeatedly in my interviews and conversations. “Could it be possible,” I began to think, “that by modeling and empowering a community of equity, justice, and liberating education, such practice becomes modeled and reproduced continually?”
Breaking Up the Good Old Boys' Club
By: J. Lee Grady | June 5, 2009
I never heard a woman preacher until I joined the charismatic movement in the 1970s. It took a while for me to get used to the idea, since the church I grew up in taught that women were most spiritual when they were silent.
Eyes to See and Ears to Hear
By: Megan Greulich | June 5, 2009
My college conversations gave me great insight into human nature: as fallen creatures, we are resistant to change. We prefer the familiar, the safe, the known. And because of this, I think we can be at risk for missing how the Holy Spirit is moving in our midst.
